What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions normally leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
About our fire rated sealant in Wooden Hill
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. We work on service penetrations, door frames and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
For a small place like Wooden Hill, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What else we do in Wooden Hill
What we’re called out for in Wooden Hill
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wooden Hill Primary and Nursery School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Commercial buildings in Wooden Hill
Bracknell, which Wooden Hill is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Bracknell was planned with its own industrial and business areas, so workplaces sit close to the homes. Each has washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints to keep in order. In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Letting a property close to Bracknell station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
Why act early in Wooden Hill
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In a small place like Wooden Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

FAQs for Wooden Hill
Do you work for landlords with property near Bracknell station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Wooden Hill?
Yes. Wooden Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
